Future Friday: AR Makeup to Revolutionize Beauty Industry

22-May-2020

AR makeup could make cosmetologists of us all

The global beauty industry is worth $60 billion. Digital technology has given consumers greater access to beauty products and greater choices. Additionally, it provides education on how to apply them. YouTube tutorials cater to any look, while Instagram and Snapchat filters turn imagination into virtual reality. With smart glasses, AR makeup will add another layer of change in the 2020s.

Where’s the proof, you ask? Since 2018, people watch over 1 million tutorial videos on YouTube every day.

Both casuals and enthusiasts no longer rely mainly on their friends and family for makeup advice. Furthermore, they no longer rely on magazines. With video sharing apps, there is more personalization than ever before.

The beauty industry is set to change with AR makeup. Already, smart glasses are easing both personal and professional life.

From warehouses to your bathroom mirror, the technology is set to improve upon the many ways smartphones ease our lives.

Soon, you’ll have a virtual assistant that knows exactly which colors compliment your many striking features.
